Kids & Teens Contemporary Dance at MEP Dance Studio

At MEP Dance Studio in Küsnacht, our Kids & Teens programme is all about encouraging children and young people to move, create and grow, in a fun, age-appropriate environment. We believe contemporary dance opens a pathway to stronger body awareness, self-confidence and creative expression.

Who we welcome:

• Young children (ages 3-4) just starting to explore movement, rhythm & space.

• Primary school students (ages 5-10) ready to build coordination and play with dance fundamentals.

• Older children and teens (ages 10-17+) eager to deepen technique, explore choreography and dance collaboratively.

• Mixed-gender and specialised groups (for example the “Dance for Boys” class that mixes urban & martial arts influences).

What’s on offer:

• Creative Dance for Kids (3-10 yrs): playful sessions where stories, music and movement tasks introduce rhythm, spatial awareness and body-mind connection.

• Contemporary Dance for Kids (from age 8): a course that invites children to discover movement with intention — floor work, swing, fast/slow dynamics and improvisation focus on how movement feels.

• ChoreoLab (approx. age 10-12): for young dancers who want to dive into choreography, structure their own movement ideas and work in small performance groups.

• Contemporary Dance for Teens (from age 12): a dynamic space where technique, group coordination and creative development come together. Emphasis on body-presence, ensemble work and choreographic projects.

• Intensive Training (Advanced, from age 12): Weekend modules for committed young dancers who want to train more deeply and book individual intensive sessions.
